知产四方馆日常分享85王培培：商标因具有欺骗性被驳回，我们该怎么做？（二）
大家好，我是知产四方馆的王培培，我今天继续分享商标因具有欺骗性被驳回该怎么办这个主题上一回分享的欺骗性情形是商标可能会使相关公众对商品或服务的质量、原材料、功能、用途等特性产生误认。我们今天分享第二个欺骗性情形：标识中含有的企业名称，与申请人名义存在实质性差异，商标局认为这类商标可能使消费者对服务或商品的来源产生误认。此时面对这种驳回理由，作为申请人该怎么应对呢？这个欺骗性情形也许不太好理解，比如有的听众可能会困惑，什么叫做标识含有的企业名称与申请人名义存在实质性差异？企业名称又是指什么？别急，接下来，我将列举四个小案例，一方面让听众更好地理解这类欺骗性情形，另一方面也通过这四个案例寻找解决路径。案例分享之前，我先解释一下这里的“企业名称”包含了企业全称、企业简称、企业的英文名称和中文拼音等。案例一，符合商业惯例的深圳市小松科技有限公司在第9类申请了一个商标，商标名称是“小松公司”。根据商
知产四方馆日常分享84吴烨：在商标民事侵权诉讼中发现假冒注册商标犯罪线索后果如何
大家好！欢迎来到《知产四方馆》，我是你们的老朋友吴烨，今天我给大家分享的主题是《商标民事诉讼中发现犯罪线索？结果凉凉》本文系为普法目的而创作，文中故事改编自真实案例，当事人名称以化名处理，如有雷同，纯属巧合，请勿对号入座。【问题的提出】做生意的朋友常问：“律师，我在店里卖了点‘高仿’货，被起诉了怎么办？”很多人觉得，这不就是民事纠纷嘛，大不了赔钱了事，只要不闹出人命，应该跟“坐牢”沾不上边吧？真的是这样吗？今天我们要聊的这个案子，就用铁一般的事实回答了这个问题。【案情简介】故事发生在山东沂源，起因是一家名叫“小霆商行”的店铺。这家店因为售卖假冒的“小松电器”电池，被品牌方告上了法庭。表面上看，这是一起普通的商标侵权民事案件。但在庭审过程中，承办法官在审查被告“小霆商行”提交的进货清单时，发现了一个频繁出现的名字——供货商“贾小松”。法官敏锐地意识到，这不仅仅是末端销售的问题，背后一定隐藏着
